Abstract
The absence of a dedicated instrument for assessing the digital literacy of students in the Mandarin Language Educational Program prompted the research team to develop the "Digital Literacy” (数字素养 - Shùzì sùyǎng) instrument. Given the significance of digital literacy in the contemporary 5.0 era and the lack of a suitable tool, this research addresses the gap by introducing a comprehensive instrument. The instrument was validated by two expert validators, comprising four dimensions—social-emotional, cognitive, technical, and attitudinal. Subsequent limited testing assessed the validity and reliability of formulated question items. The validity test confirmed the instrument's appropriateness using a Likert scale with four answer categories. Results from testing the digital literacy of Mandarin language education students further validated the instrument, supported by calculated R-values surpassing the r-table value. A reliability test, with a Cronbach's Alpha value exceeding 0.6, attests to the questionnaire's consistency and reliability in measurement.
